The Redding Bagpipe Competition is sanctioned by WUSPBA (Western United States Pipe Band Assoc.).
The Redding Bagpipe Competition is proud of our Grade 1 aggregate winner of March 2025, Gavin Guidotti, who placed 5th in the MSR at the Sandy Jones Memorial Amateur Championship competition in Orlando, Florida. This is a tremendous accomplishment as there are only 10 invitees for this event. The competition took place on November 8th, 2025. The Sandy Jones Memorial is presented along with the professional grade, Sunbelt Invitational Piping Competition.
​
The Sunbelt Invitational Piping Competition, An Crios Greine, is a professional grade competition with invitations to the greatest pipers of our generation, who qualify with their winning performances throughout the year.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MALACHI JOHANNSEN,
the RBC 2024 Grade 1 Aggregate Winner and winner of the Sandy Jones Memorial Amateur Championship!
